Winning the lead role of Anakin Skywalker in the next two Star War prequels has left newcomer Hayden Christensen humbled. “I still live with my folks, who make me mow the grass and take the garbage out,” he tells People magazine in its Nov. 5 issue. Star Wars: Episode II – Attack of the Clones is due out next year. Christensen says every nuance on the set was surreal. “The outfit and the cloak? Mind-boggling. Meeting R2-D2? An out-of-body experience. The light sabre? A thrill,” he said. Christensen also plays Kevin Kline’s son in the new film Life as a House. Born in Vancouver, Christensen’s family later moved to the Toronto area, where he went to school. When he was 12 years old, Christensen had a continuing role in a Canadian television soap opera, the daily hour-long Family Passions.
